WARNING MAJOR STRANGER THINGS SPOILERS. If you don't want to find out who's aging backwards, and who is secretly his own father's ghost, don't listen to the first five minutes.

We realized that this week's story, boringly titled "Fate," is a perfect Adam Sandler movie, and it reads about as well as you'd expect.
